Describe the feature

Forgive me if there is a way to get zed to do this already, after a look at the keybindings & settings I couldn't determine it.

By default there are commands to create a new project search pane. Instead I would like to re-use the an existing project search pane. I would map this to cmd-shift-f to recover the vscode-like experience of "search-all opens next to my current pane", as opposed to always appearing on top / replacing.

Is this either possible, or a feature that could be added?

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Can you edit your description to include your zed version information? You can access this by launching "zed: copy system specs to clipboard" from the command palette (cmd-shift-p).

I would map this to cmd-shift-f to recover the vscode-like experience of "search-all opens next to my current pane", as opposed to always appearing on top / replacing.

By default Zed should re-use any existing "Project Search" (File in Project) tabs when you use the cmd-shift-f shortcut. If you have no open project search panes it will be next to the active tab; but if reusing an existing tab it may not necessarily be next to yours. Can you include a short video (cmd-shift-5) demonstrating the issue you are seeing?

I see this on both my work macbook and my personal (spec below, older os, but work os is up to date).

The attached gif starts just after I have hit cmd-f once and searched. The search is in the right pane, but a new pane is opened on cmd-shift-f, and I do it again with the same result.

The desired behaviour is that cmd-shift-f jumps to the search bar in the existing search pane; is there a setting for that?
